Debussy's inspiration for the piece was a poem by the same name by Leconte de Lisle. Do you think there is a connection between the poem and the piano piece?
They are imageable. Readers and audiences might imagine themselves in front of the impressionist paintings like Auguste Renoir's. More than 'beautiful,' the performance pictures a girl with warmth, smile and peace.
One of the greatest pianists alive. I like his Debussy even more than his Bach. Good taste, no mannerisms or romanticisms, no jumping up and down on the piano bench and making silly grimaces like so many other pianists do. There's the "clarté française" Debussy (and Ravel) wanted to. In my opinion the best Debussy since Michelangeli.
the prelude was inspired by images from the childhood of the composer and the nostalgia to the time of innocence and simplicity.the metaphoric implication of the soft-silky flaxen hair aimed to depicting how love could be in a world lacking obstacles and barriers.hence the music came in such an easy flow of chords .
OMG so beautiful! With his characteristic stillness, super sensitive tone and the surreal, impressionistic lighting (which I think was a distraction for performers but he seemed ok for that), I was totally immersed in this incredible two-and-a-half-minute fantasy!
All I can discern is a deep rivers of gentle flowing waters to trickle away the pain, suffering and sorrow we are all experiencing in this world!👑👍🌹❤️👌

I wish he had taken more time on some places, it felt a bit rushed. I am also a fan of the left pedal wich did seem like it could have been used at some points in this piece to make it milder
Утончённая музыкальность Дебюсси влияет на менталитет человека . Тогда возникает необходимость равновесия . Отсюда следует укрепление жизненных позиций Познанием полифонии .
if you didn't know Debussy was an impressionist era composer. In the impressionist era the art wasn't limited to music, famous artists such as Calude Monet, Edgar Degas and others. If you look at these paintings you might see something in this video that I did too. The camera angles and lights make it look like he is being painted in an impressionist style. Truly incredible.
Debussy is so original that he is impossible to be influenced by him. Personnaly ,I don't like his music . I am too easily lost . His music is confusing.

No.
@@Sam-zj6mw hmm.
As it can be read on the video's description the music engages more senses than just the hearing.
Was just jokingly replying to the marketing-speak rhetorical question...
Thank you
I remember now why Debussy is one of my favorite composers. Absolutely stunning

I used your comment for description on my video for this piece
Very interesting. If you search for the poet Charles-Marie Leconte de Lisle, you'll find a poem by him titled "La fille aux cheveux de lin".
Can you please share your source of information so I can read more about Debussy and this piece?
Yes it is based on that exact poem mentioned
Oh, Víkingur. Is there anything you cannot play to perfection?! Your music calms and soothes the soul. Bravissimo! 🎉❤

My favorite playing of this piece! Beautiful.
Omg his tone! So beautiful 💕
The lighting was a little bit distracting to me though... 💧
thanks
now I am jealous of you ：（
This music feels like watching people spending time on the promenade in autumn. Dunno why. It's beautiful tho.
A powerful tribute to the composer's own interpretation...
Execução primorosa, impecável leitura de Debussy.
Extraordinarily beautiful !! 👏👏👏
Beautiful
His wonderful performance is felt the scent of Debussy‘s aesthetics
He holds an unchallenged position as s an interpreter of Debussy
So lovely! Ólafsson has a deeply touching sensitivity.
This video made my Sunday bright!
Cheers from Brazil!
Perfect
J'aime cette pièce de six bémoles depuis ma jeunesse.
so delicate introduction...
Très bien la musique!!!
Maravilhoso, obrigada
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Maravilloso♥️
Gorgeous
Apart from his amazing talent he doesn't resemble a refugee from a boy-band as so many of these young male pianists and singers do.
Ein schönes stück das er spielt
So good played.
I love you

1:21👍 ; 現在突然學起魔術方塊,要照本宣科簡單地多,但那看似複雜的解法,是怎麼想出來的呢？就好像作曲家是如何抓到物體、萬物的規律呢？

Ich wusste gar nicht, dass es sich bei den Préludes von Debussy um sein Opus 1 handelt. Wie werden dann seine früheren Werke bezeichnet?

If you look at these paintings you might see something in this video that I did too. The camera angles and lights make it look like he is being painted in an impressionist style. Truly incredible.
In my own mind, Impressionism is not the thing (the subject). It is the impression of that thing.
@@brucekuehn4031 I am eager to hear more. What is this, impressioning if that’s the right word
cool
Impressive!
Great playing! I just uploaded this piece too :)
It's a different approach from Debussy that I've often heard. I don't think I can say which one is better. It's different. 😂
👏🎉👏🎉
I will save Astarion from his master, and Karlach from the hells! This I swear on my oath!
the interpretation was somewhat histerical, but it's obvious the interpreter has put effort into it so im sure many people will like it
great performance though that pair of glasses is adorably distracting!
He has his own style, like Friedrich Gulda had and Yuja Wang has....and that's good!
No pierxx
Very nice performance but the lightning in this video made me feel so dizzy.
music was good but MV was eww
Fine musicianship, but the video is promotional, not artistic, tantamount to distasteful.
Debussy is so original that he is impossible to be influenced by him. Personnaly ,I don't like his music . I am too easily lost . His music is confusing.
This isn't good.
I think most of us would disagree.
@@emaych2 Because it IS good, maybe the best Debussy since Michelangeli.
Great interpretation. I hate this yellow label videos
